I have literally no idea … <solved> Church of England Temperance Society medal / token [resuelto]

Hi,

a real puzzle here …. Not sure first off if it is a coin or token. Secondly, the poor state makes dimension and weight almost impossible to measure.

This is a plea to anyone out there who may be able to help identify what I have ?

Looks like a George and Dragon on one side, and a book / bible and crown on obverse. Can’t quite make out the writing around the edge, although writing on the book is quite clear,

many many thanks,

cheers

Best I can approximate is 25-26mm diameter and approx 5g in weight

Could it be a pub token of some kind ? Not sure but I think I can make out SOC on the George and Dragon side at about 5 o’clock ?

looks english : all to the ocort (court) of god

Yes, I think it is English … the second page of the book looks like “…. To the glory of god” at the end. The other side looks like “…… m(p)ton **** Soc” which made me think it may be some kind of society token ? Couldn’t’t make out the word in the middle …..

Rather something like that

ANTIQUE RELIGIOUS CHURCH OF ENGLAND TEMPERANCE SOCIETY COIN

Great find, thank you ….. just need to try and date it ! You’ve set me on the trail now 👍

Some info HERE and THERE

At first glance it looks like an anti-alcoholic league
